Contemplation

Took another spill at Elk Grove on Day 1. Landed in the grass but ruined yet another tubular and was enough to really bother my back that was not 100% yet after the superweek incident. I am looking forward to CX but want to finish out the road season strong so I am taking a week to rejuvenate and hopefully have a turn of luck at the Mass. Ave crit on the 14th. However, I have also been thinking and I have been fortunate enough to have a good couple of seasons, despite the recent string of pavement surfing. Like Mr. Churchill says..."If you are going through hell, keep going."

So here is proof of my hard work. I have a long way to go to get to where I want to be but the reminder of progress is nice.
